Attack on Titan (進撃の巨人, Shingeki no Kyojin) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Hajime Isayama, which is set in a world where the remains of the human population live inside cities surrounded by enormous walls due to the sudden appearance of the Titans, gigantic humanoid creatures who devour humans seemingly without reason. The story centers around the life of Eren Yeager and his adoptive sister Mikasa Ackerman, whose lives are changed forever after the appearance of a colossal titan brings about the destruction of their home and the death of their mother.
An anime television series debuted on April 7, 2013. A live action film adaptation is also in production.
Setting and Themes
In an alternative, middle-ages setup, mankind as we know is dwindling in numbers. With the advent of Titans, giant humanoid creatures that attack and devour any human on sight, what remains of civilization is protected by three circular, concentric walls, hundreds of kilometers long and arround fifty meters tall, called Wall Maria (the outermost wall), Wall Rose and Wall Sina (the innermost wall). Despite all efforts to expand their territory beyond the walls had failed, the citizens inside remained safe for a hundred years, until a colossal sixty meter tall Titan breaks through Wall Maria, and humanity is once again at risk of extinction.
The Author notes on the idea of walls and complacency in human society as opposed to independent spirit and freedom of the main character. The story also runs with the idea that the world is a naturally cruel environment where the strong survive and the weak need to fight for their place.
Plot
The series follows the story of Eren Yeager, a young soldier whose father disappears and his mother is killed during the fall of Wall Maria and years later, enlists into the army along his adopted sister Mikasa Ackerman. When the Titans threaten to break further through Wall Rose, Eren discovers that he possess the ability to temporarily transform himself into a Titan as well. Seen as a threat by some, and as a ray of hope by others, Eren and his companions risk their lives to protect what still remains of mankind, making use of his newfound power while looking for answers to the mysteries surrounding the Titans, the walls and his own existence.
Time Line
- 738: The Human race is nearly devoured to extinction with the exception of those living within the walls.
- 745: The Giants are unable to penetrate the giant walls, and the human population is able to enjoy 100 years of peace.
- 844: During a trip with his father Eren Yeager saves Mikasa Ackerman from kidnappers after they murder her family.
- 845: The colossal titan, a gigantic sixty meter class titan appears, and destroys part of Wall Maria, allowing the titans to overrun Wall Maria.
- 846: The Humans launch a failed offensive to retake Wall Maria, suffering massive casualties and further reducing the population to about a half of its original size.
- 847: Eren, Mikasa, and Armin begin their military training.
- 850: Present Time
Concepts and terminology
- Titans
- Titans are the primary antagonists of the series. They are large creatures resembling humans, ranging from 3-15 meters tall, with some exceptions(ranging up to 60 meters). The Titans appear to have no objectives other than killing and consuming humans, which they do only by instinct, as they do not seem interested in attacking animals. They survive off of sunlight and do not need to eat to survive. Apparently, the titans possess no reproductive organs, thus it is unknown how they keep increasing their numbers.
- They have hard skin and regenerative abilities, and can only be killed by a deep incision on the base of the neck. This weakness led to the development of the 3-D Maneuver Gear, allowing humans to navigate quickly in a three dimensional space to access their weak point.
- Some humans such as the protagonist, Eren, have the unique ability to summon and control a titan body. While in this form, the humans rest in the weak point at the base of the neck, indicating a connection between controlled and "wild" titans.
- Human Soldiers
- Humans are much weaker and smaller compared to the titans. As such, most strategies center around slowing them down by using barricades and artillery. They are also capable of killing the titans through the use of the Three-Dimensional Maneuver Gear, which operates like a grapple and repel tool, which they use to get behind giants, where they are able to strike their weak spots behind their necks. This process is very difficult and on average takes about thirty human casualties to defeat a single titan (a number that can vary massively depending on titan size, intelligence, abilities and behavior).
- Three Dimensional Maneuver Gear
A set of gear developed by humans that allows great mobility when facing the titans. The gear itself takes the form of a body harness that encompasses much of the body below the neck. Though using it will allow a skilled user great mobility, it carries a large risk of overtaxing the user's muscles, thus using it demands a special physical conditioning and sense of balance. Some tools involved in the apparatus include:
- Wire and grappling hooks
- Gas powered propelling system
- "Replaceable Flexible Steel" swords and sheaths
- Walls and Territory
- Human territory is encompassed by three enormous walls that encompass the entirety of human civilization. The outermost wall is known as Wall Maria, the middle wall is known as Wall Rose, and the innermost wall is known as Wall Sina. To guarantee that the titans have no way to invade human territory, these three walls are all roughly fifty meters tall with the only weak spot being the gates that connect the inside with the outside area. These walls completely surround what remains of the human territory. As such, they are quite large, which makes it hard for humanity to keep watch over every inch of the perimeter. It is because of this that human populations are concentrated in towns, which focuses the giants' attention so they don't wander around the walls.
- Military
- The Garrison are the soldiers that protect the towns and reinforce the walls. They are the first line of defense against the Titans.
- The Survey Corps is composed of soldiers that fight the Titans in their own territory outside of the walls. Their main goal is to discover more about where the Titans come from and what their goal is. They are also an integral component in the military's campaign to recapture Wall Maria.
- The Military Police Brigade is the section of the military that regulates the population and maintains public order inside of the human settlements.
Characters
- Eren Yeager (エレン・イェーガー, Eren Yēgā)
- Voiced by: Yuki Kaji
- The protagonist of the series. Idealistic, violent, and impulsive, Eren seeks to annihilate the Titans and explore the outside world. As a child, he killed two of the kidnappers that murdered Mikasa's family and convinced Mikasa to fight and kill the third one after he and his father came looking for her. He was ranked 5th in his trainee class. He has no particular talent aside from his excellent close combat skills, but has been slowly but steadily improving his grades through outstanding effort and a strong sense of purpose.
- He displays a strange ability to be able to summon and control the body of a fifteen meter class titan. Eren believes this ability to be the result of injections given to him by his father after the death of his mother. He initially had little control over the titan body that he summons, and would attack anything that he sees while in this form but, after increased use gained full control. When the titan's body can no longer be maintained, Eren emerges from the nape of the titan's neck, where his body appears to be fused to the titan's spine.
- Mikasa Ackerman (ミカサ・アッカーマン, Mikasa Akkāman)
- Voiced by: Yui Ishikawa
- Adopted Sister of the Yeager Family. She is an orphan whose oriental race was wiped out by the titans. As a child, she was saved by Eren from a group of kidnappers who murdered her family.

She was ranked 1st in her graduating class, and always maintains her composure no matter the situation. She is considered an unprecedented genius, a prodigy who excels in the most difficult courses. She is often teased about her attachment to her foster brother.
- Armin Arlelt (アルミン・アルレルト, Arumin Arureruto)
- Voiced by: Marina Inoue
- Eren's best friend, he is physically and emotionally weak. Though his strategic intution has saved Eren and Mikasa several times, he continues to believe himself completely incompetent and hates himself for having to rely on them. Sub-par physical aptitude by soldiers' standards but an alleged genius when it comes to theoretical courses.

- Annie Leonhardt (アニ・レオンハート, Ani Reonhāto)
- Voiced by: Yu Shimamura
- Ranked 4th of the trainee class. A stoic girl whose father trained her in hand to hand combat. She strikes with a perfect penetration angle. She is a solitary type, and solidarity does not come to her easily. She's one of the female type titans recently found out by Armin when they are going to infiltrated the city in chapter 31. In Ch.33, after defeating Eren in her titan form, Annie continues attempting to climb Wall Shina to escape. However, she was defeated by Mikasa and she enters a mysterious, unresponsive crystal phase in her human body in Chapter 34.
- Jean Kirstein (ジャン・キルシュタイン, Jan Kirushutain)
- Voiced by: Kishō Taniyama
- Ranked 6th of the trainee class. Extremely pessimistic about the War with the Titans. He ends up leading the people on the supply mission for gas. :From the Trost District.

- Sasha Browse (サシャ・ブラウス, Sasha Burausu)
- Voiced by: Yū Kobayashi
- Ranked 9th of the trainee class. A thief from the mountain Daupa District, she joined in order to find tasty things to eat. In ch.36, Sasha returns home to her village in the mountains and it's there she speaks in her normal dialect(which she was embarrased of doing so during her military training). She is also an expert with a bow and arrow, revealled when she used it to take down the 3m titan.
- She's lightning fast, with an uncanny intuition, but her eccentricity makes her unfit for group operations.
- Christa Renz (クリスタ・レンズ, Kurisuta Renzu) / Historia (ヒストリア, Hisutoria)
